Three PhD theses co-supervised by UXAFORES members have been defended in the EPSE in recent months. Two are related to forestry, with one reporting an in-depth study of forest fires in pine plantations and the other concerning short-rotation poplar plantations. The third, conducted within an international doctoral programme, investigates the fertilization of cacao in Panamanian agriculture.

In recent months, two PhD theses concerning the toxic effects of several currently widespread pollutants in soils have been defended. These theses were written by doctoral associated with the research group.
